Actually it was a failure to exchange the artifact in first place. That has 
always been the policy on central and this incident demonstrates exactly 
why. For other known broken jars (esp. the ones containing javax. stuff) it 
has always been stated, that they must release a new version. So why should 
it be different in this case? You'll need junit 4.8.1-1 or the like to solve 
the problem - 4.8.1 is already tainted. With all those people using local 
repo managers you will never get a consistent situation anymore.
